Unless you're pulling from some persistent source which will then feel free to discard what you have retrieved. You can't assume otherwise; it's not that rare a pattern for interfaces. We use such a pattern for accepting criminal complaints from district attorneys and sending warrant information to police agencies. Waiting a long time (it won't *actually* be forever) is better than losing information. In other words, making a persistence promise which is not kept can lose data on the client side, if the clients actually trust your guarantees. -Kevin
